NAME Oracle::DML - Perl class for Oracle batch DML SYNOPSIS use Oracle::DML; my %cfg = ('conn_string'=>'usr/pwd@db', 'table_name'=>'my_ora_tab'); my $ot = Oracle::DML->new; # or combine the two together my $ot = Oracle::DML->new(%cfg); my $sql= $ot->prepare(%cfg); $ot->execute(); # actually create the audit table and trigger DESCRIPTION This class contains methods to create audit tables and triggers for Oracle tables. Object Constructor new (%arg) Input variables: $cs - Oracle connection string in usr/pwd@db $tn - Oracle table name without schema Variables used or routines called: None How to use: my $obj = new Oracle::DML; # or my $obj = Oracle::DML->new; # or my $cs = 'usr/pwd@db'; my $tn = 'my_table'; my $obj = Oracle::DML->new(cs=>$cs,tn=>$tn); # or my $obj = Oracle::DML->new('cs',$cs, 'tn',$tn); Return: new empty or initialized Oracle::DML object. METHODS The following are the common methods, routines, and functions defined in this class. Exported Tag: All The *:all* tag includes all the methods or sub-rountines defined in this class. use Oracle::DML qw(:all); insert_into ($dbh,$tab,$crf,$pr) Input variables: $dbh - database handler $tab - table name $crf - table definition array: $crf->[$i]{$itm} $i - column number $k - items: col, typ, req, wid, dft, etc. PK, CK, MP_TABLE, MP are in the last element of the array $pr - additional parameters Variables used or routines called: None How to use: my $obj = new Oracle::DML; # or my $obj = Oracle::DML->new; # or my $cs = 'usr/pwd@db'; my $tn = 'my_table'; my $def = 'tables.def'; my $crf = $self->read_tab_def($def); my $sql = $obj->insert_into($dbh,$tn,$def->{$tn}); Return: SQL statement select_records($dbh,$tn,$cns,$whr,$rtp) Input variables: $dbh - a database handler. $tn - table name. $cns - column names separated by comma. $whr - conditions used in WHERE clause $rtp - returned array type: ARRAY - default, array does not contain column names. SFR_ARRAY - first row contains column names, i.e., skip first row when processing data HASH - hashed array lc_hash - column name in lower case $dtp - database type: Oracle|CSV|ODBC Variables used or routines called: echoMSG - display messages How to use: my $arf = $self->select_records($dbh,'emp', 'firstname,lastname', 'sal > 10000','lc_hash'); Return: an array reference contain the records in sequence while columns can be in sequence or in hash. The returned array can be accessed through ${$arf}[$i][$j] or ${$arf}[$i]{$col}. When it is ${$arf}[$i][$j], no column name is returned from it. When $atp = 'SFR_ARRAY', then the first row contains column names. delete_records($dbh,$tab,$col,$op,$val,$dft) Input variables: $dbh - database handler $tab - table name $col - column name $op - operator such as '=','<','in','like','btw', etc. $val - value or values separated by space $dft - date format, default to 'YYYYMMDD.HH24MISS' Variables used or routines called: echoMSG - echo message How to use: my $cs = "usr/pwd@db"; my $dbh = $self->getDBHandler($cs, 'Oracle'); $self->insert($dbh, 'myTab', 'ID', 'in', 'A B C'); Return: None. If operator is 'like', then you can use wildcard such as '%' or '?' in the $val. You can only use one string, and the others after the first blank space will be ignored. insert_records($dbh,$tab,$drf,$pk,$dft) Input variables: $dbh - database handler $tab - target table name $drf - data array reference: ${$arf}[$i]{$col} or a source table. $pk - primary key. $dft - date format. Defaults to 'YYYYMMDD.HH24MISS' Variables used or routines called: echoMSG - echo message check_input_drf - check input array ref is_object_exist - check object existence get_table_definition - get table definitions select_records - get table data How to use: my $cs = 'usr/pwd@db'; my $dbh = $self->getDBHandler($cs, "Oracle"); my $drf = $self->select_records($dbh,$srctab,'*','','hash'); my $tab = "test_table"; $self->insert_records($dbh,$tab,$drf); Return: None. This method inserts records in a data array ($drf) into a table. If the primary key is specified, it checks to see if the primary key does not exist in the table. If the primary key exists, it will skip inserting the record. Here are the steps involved in this method: 1) Checks whether the table exists; 2) Gets the table definition; 3) Compares the column names with the column names in the array; 4) Gets a list of primary keys in the table; 5) Loops through each records in the array; 6) Inserts records only if the primary key does not exist in the table. check_records($dbh,$tab,$drf,$ckc,$dft) Input variables: $dbh - database handler $tab - target table name $drf - data array reference: ${$arf}[$i]{$col} or a source table. $chc - a list of column names separated by comma and to be checked against the column definition. $dft - date format. Defaults to 'YYYYMMDD.HH24MISS' $pk - primary key. Defaults to the first column Variables used or routines called: echoMSG - echo message check_input_drf - check input array ref is_object_exist - check object existence get_table_definition - get table definitions select_records - get table data How to use: my $cs = 'usr/pwd@db'; my $dbh = $self->getDBHandler($cs, "Oracle"); my $drf = $self->select_records($dbh,$srctab,'*','','hash'); my $tab = "test_table"; my $rrf = $self->check_records($dbh,$tab,$drf); Return: $rrf - report hash array reference. The $rrf contains ${$rrf}{$cat}{$itm}{...}, where cn - column name {cn}{no_missing_in_array} - number of colunm name missing in the array comparing to the column names in the table. {cn}{nm_missing_in_array} - a list of column names separated by comma, which are missing in the array comparing to the column names in the table. rec - record related statistics {rec}{total} - total number of records in the array col - column statistics {col}{$cn}{wid} - statistics related to width and range {ok_cnt} - number of records within max and min width and not null requirement if there is any {ok_pct} - percentage of the ok records {emp_rec} - number of empty records, which is excluded from ok_cnt if it is 'not null' column. {bad_typ} - number of bad datatype records. {out_rng} - number of record which is out of range. The range is determined by max and min width for char columns and max and dec width for number fields. {rownum} - a list of row numbers for the records that exceed the max width for char columns or is out of range for numeric fields. This method checks data fields against column definition and report any records that do not confirm with the column definition. Here are the steps involved in this method: 1) Checks inputs and data array; 2) Gets the table definition; 3) Compares the column names with the column names in the array; 4) Check data fields 5) Report results update_records($dbh,$tab,$drf,$pk,$dft,$skn) Input variables: $dbh - database handler $tab - target table name $drf - data array reference: ${$arf}[$i]{$col} or a source table. $pk - primary key. Defaults to the first column or specified as my_id my_id:upper my_id=u_id my_id:lpad('0',?)=u_id:lpad('0',?) $dft - date format. Defaults to 'YYYYMMDD.HH24MISS' $skn - skip null: 1|0. 1 - default to skip updating the column if the new value is null but the target column is not null. 0 - update the column any way. Variables used or routines called: echoMSG - echo message is_object_exist - check object existence get_table_definition - get table definitions select_records - get table data How to use: my $cs = 'usr/pwd@db'; my $dbh = $self->getDBHandler($cs, "Oracle"); my $drf = $self->select_records($dbh,$srctab,'*','','hash'); my $tab = "test_table"; $self->update_records($dbh,$tab,$drf); Return: None. This method updates records in a data array ($drf) into a table if the primary key does not exist in the table. Here are the steps involved in this method: 1) Checks whether the table exists; 2) Gets the table definition; 3) Get common column names in table and in the array; 4) Gets a list of primary keys in the table; 5) Loops through each records in the array; 6) Updates records only if the primary key does exist in the table.
